Most unappreciated member of the band. Often carries the riffs and glues the song together.
Note: people who switch from guitar to bass because they think it's easy or couldn't find a bassist for their band are NOT real bassists.
Wow, that bassist is killing it!

The bass player is possibly the most important player in the band, however the bass player doesn't show up to practice, but if they do they show up 30 minutes before practice ends. The bass player is usually the brunt of all jokes.
The bassist was too cheap to buy new strings before going to the studio, so he left his shitty 15 year old strings on his cheap ass Squier. Then when the bassist left the studio, the Guitarist re-recorded all the parts of the songs the bass player was supposed to play with an American Fender Jazz Bass with new strings.

Prejudice against those who play the bass.
See:bassism
On the way to the gig, the bass player was lynched by a group of bassists.

One who discriminates against Basses
Usually tenors, sometimes altos, and sopranos when they think highly of themselves and forget about the basses' incredible falsetto
I think that most gospel composers of today are bassist because they can't seem to be able to write a decent bass part and in it's place writing a second tenor part that they want to try and make the basses sing.

For Urban Dictionary Slang Purposes: A bassist is someone who hangs around musicians.
Larry learned how to play an A, E and B on the bass guitar. This was the entire prerequisite for joining a band.

Usually a failed guitarist who does not have the skill to play a six stringed instrument. Inevitably the brunt of all jokes within a band and not entitled to an opinion. Confined to the lower end of the frequency range shared only by snails. Credit is gained by playing with fingers rather than a pick and with more strings than four. However this only brings them up to the level of the common earthworm.
An exception to this rule is Cliff Burton (RIP)
Guitarist: Hey I just wrote this cool song - what do you guys think?
Bassist: It sucks.
Guitarist: Get out of my band.
